Genes and Jeans – A Natural Fit

Entertainers Chris Mann and Elliot Yamin supporting rare and genetic disease awareness by wearing our Genes Ribbons™
Just as the pink ribbon symbolizes breast cancer awareness and the red dress symbolizes heart health, the Blue Denim Genes Ribbon™ is a perfect universal sign for rare and genetic disease awareness and helps unify a fractured community of thousands of small diseases who have not had a collective voice.
Charleston|Orwig, a leading advertising agency based in Milwaukee, WI, designed our official Blue Denim Genes Ribbon™ logo, which has become an internationally recognized awareness symbol for rare and genetic diseases.
Pfizer and Bayer has sponsored the purchase of our blue grosgrain ribbon spools while GlueDots International has generously donated the glue to instantly bond the ribbons into form.
Since our Genes Ribbon™ launched in 2010, countless volunteers have handmade and distributed over 100,000 Genes Ribbons™ – and the number continues to grow daily.
